Several people on the ground fell in a pool of blood, and the undried blood flowed along the floor tiles. Shi Yanchao's armor was splashed with blood, and the blood on the knife was dripping down, which looked even more terrifying. Shi Yanchao seemed to be in a state of great pleasure to kill, and glanced at the military general who had just been helped up, and walked over with a knife.

"Anyway, you can't restrain your subordinates. You're just a fool, what's the point of keeping them?" Shi Yanchao said and waved his long sword.

Someone next to him shouted: "Those who violate military law are not him, and they will not die..." But it was too late. Shi Yanchao stabbed the general in the abdomen with one knife. A scream rang out. The man was not dead yet, and he would never survive if he was stabbed in the abdomen.

No one dared to accuse Shi Yanchao of killing indiscriminately. All the soldiers looked at him with fear, and the people on the street were all afraid.

At this moment, someone said, "Marrior Guo is here!"

Everyone turned around, Guo Shao got off the carriage and walked towards this side with a few guards. Not far away, Wang Pu, Dong Zunhui and others rushed over after hearing the news, and they also brought a group of soldiers.

Shi Yanchao put away his butcher's knife, stepped forward and held his fists and saluted, "Greetings to Guo Du to inspect the trial."

Such a murderous man bent down to the other person and held a tribute. The onlookers turned their eyes to Guo Shao, curiously trying to see what kind of person could control such a cruel warrior. However, he saw that Guo Dashen was a tall and strong man, and there was nothing special about it, because most of the Zhou army's imperial guards were such a young and strong man.

Guo Shao couldn't help but glance at Shi Yanchao at this time because he felt that Shi Yanchao's attitude in front of him was a little different today. This guy has always been more upholding the rules of the army and obeying military orders, but he is arrogant and has a bad temper. Today he is quite face... What is the reason why Shi Yanchao's attitude in front of him has changed?

Guo Shao ignored Shi Yanchao, stepped over the blood on the ground, walked to the front of the military camp, and shouted: "There are national laws above and military rules below. Those who despise military laws will end like this!"

The people around watched all this and calmed down.

Guo Shao turned around and looked at the dumb lord and the covered corpses placed on the street, and said, "Murdering people will pay for their lives. Even if the soldiers under my command are severely punished if they violate national laws. If anyone in the world has weapons, who can do whatever they want. Who will not kill people without their lives? In the past, the world was in chaos, the people in the ten countries were in trouble, the innocent children were invaders, the bad guys were in power, the foreign invaders took the opportunity to bully, and the people were slaves. All of this is because of this... Dear villagers, do you want to continue living a chaotic life?"

He paused and said loudly: "In the dynasty of the Great Order, the people should live and work in peace and contentment, and to strengthen themselves to resist external humiliation. To punish evil and promote good, swords and guns, we must hold the hands of the benevolent! The benevolent defends the people, and the good and evil are clear, and there is justice and law... The benevolent is invincible!"

Someone in the people soon shouted: "Okay! OK! Well said..."

Dong Zunhui behind him shouted excitedly: "The kind are invincible!" The imperial guards immediately shouted, and the soldiers and civilians under the city wall were in an uproar. Guo Shao quickly left the place, and there was still a noise behind him.

He went over and met Wang Pu and others soon. Seeing that Wang Pu looked strange, his eyes looked at him.

"Empress, let's go." Guo Shao said.

Wang Pu said: "Li Gu came to Jiangning City today. As a colleague, I went to the city gate to greet him."

"Mr. Li is here now?" Guo Shao immediately changed his plan, "I will go with the envoy of the king."

Although Li Gu was the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, he went to war with the army many times. At that time, he was responsible for transferring grain from various prefectures and counties in the Jinyang Battle, and did not do much. Later, he was appointed as the vanguard's military power, but obviously he was not very good at fighting. After that, he was responsible for logistics in the war, fighting against the two Lis, fighting against Shu, and this time attacking Jiangnan. He did this job. He was still very hard, and Guo Shao had a good personal relationship with him.

The group arrived at the city gate and waited for a while, and they saw Li Gu and others riding into the city. So after greetings, Guo Shao invited Li Gu to the headquarters of the Central Army.

Guo Shao felt that Wang Pu was not good at making friends and making friends with others, but today he came to pick up Li Gu, and was a little surprised at the moment. As expected, Wang Pu didn't say a few words of greetings and immediately mentioned his purpose: "I heard that Mr. Li had a long friendship with Han Xizai, the minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Li Gu was calm and said, "Han Xizai's family was an official in the Central Plains. They were friends with me when they were friends for ages. Later, the Han family was involved in rebellion, and Han Xizai could not escape. At that time, I escorted him to Zhengyang to cross the Huai River."

Li Gu smiled and said, "When he parted, Duke Han made an appointment with me. If the Southern Tang relied on him, he would definitely take the Central Plains. Now that the Southern Tang has been destroyed, I am afraid I will be ashamed to see me."

Wang Pu shook his head and said, "The friendship between friends is still there."

"Oh?" Li Gu looked at Wang Pu.

Wang Pu turned his head on the horse's back and said to Guo Shao: "Over the years, the Central Plains have been fighting for years, and from the gentry to the people, they are constantly unable to escape. The Southern Tang Dynasty has a prosperous population, and a large part of it comes from the Central Plains to the south. Han Xizai was in a high position, made extensive friends, and was quite famous. He could influence the attitudes of many gentry and was very effective in public opinion. If he could win over this person to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be of great benefit to stabilize the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Guo Shao nodded.

Wang Pu also said: "Southern scholars, for their reputation and family reputation, at least often built roads and bridges, accumulated good deeds, and won the hearts of the people among the local people. The people who trusted the most were scholars. They made friends from all over the country, and they were good at literary principles and shook their hands all over the public opinion. If General Guo wanted to appease all parts of the Southern Tang Kingdom as soon as possible, he would not be in a hurry to rob and snatch these people. On the contrary, he had to win over them, otherwise it would be rare to win the hearts of the people."

After hearing this, Guo Shao thought he was kind and immediately adopted Wang Pu's suggestion: "If Han Xizai can be appointed as an official in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be a good thing."

"There is also Chen Qiao, the assistant to the Kwang Zhengyuan. As far as I know, this person is also the leader of the Southern Tang scholars." Wang Pu said, "But Chen Qiao is not sure whereabouts now. When he meets Han Xizai, he will ask first."

After saying that, Wang Pu turned to Li Gu and said, "How about Mr. Li visiting the Han Mansion with me now?"

Li Gu had just entered the city and had no choice but to leave, but it was difficult to refuse, so he had to bow and say, "Since it is a national event, how dare you slack off?"

Guo Shao looked at Li Gu and said with a smile: "The King's envoy is a thunderous and decisive person. I will work hard for Mr. Li to go to the headquarters of the Central Army tonight. I will hold a banquet to welcome you."

So Guo Shao bid farewell to the two. At this time, Wang Pu looked serious and pondered for a moment: "By the way, I asked myself to stay in Jiangning for the last time last time, but I thought that Mr. Li (Li Gu) might be more suitable. When General Guo returned to the court, I would also go back with the army."

"It's not too late to discuss it then." Guo Shao said casually.

He and Zuo You and others returned to the headquarters of the Central Army and requisitioned a government office in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Zuo You followed him into the hall. As soon as the two entered the lobby, he said: "I think that the envoy Wang Shumi changed his attitude today, but was not because Li Gu went to Jiangning, but because he re-explained his position, perhaps because he wanted to support the lord's major event."

Guo Shao was also thinking about it, and he was not right now.

Zuo You said again: "The enemy country, the Northern Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty people scattered rumors, saying that the lord wanted to be independent, but it may not be a bad thing to make a sound from the opponent's mouth."

Guo Shao immediately agreed with Zuo You's opinion: "After the major event was deployed, we had to make some noise to distinguish who had their attitude."

What he thought of today's change in attitude, and speculated that it might be related to the usurpation of the throne stone in the Yangtze River. Shi Yanchao didn't seem to be willing to stop him from becoming emperor. There are other people who are waiting and watching, and they can also be prepared; the more people support him on the eve of the big thing, the less risk he will be.

After Zuo You finished saying what he wanted to say, he saw that the sun had reached the middle of the sky outside, so he said goodbye.

Guo Shao left the lobby from behind and was preparing to have a meal. He couldn't help but take out the Tokyo report from his pocket and read it again... Although according to Zuo You and his judgment, the intention to be exposed would not have much impact, the four sentences fished out from the Yellow River were too unpleasant. Guo Shao couldn't help but feel angry again.

It must have been done by Zhao Kuangyin, and Li Yun from Hedong. The person who was most unwilling to see him proclaiming himself emperor was obviously Zhao Kuangyin, but he was in the Northern Han Kingdom and it was not easy for him to come to the Yellow River. He might have colluded with Li Yun.
